The Beautiful People of Guatemala



This little girl sold me a scarf. She was positibely lovely.



Shotguns make me smile too.

Getting Back to Nature



Volcanoes, volcanoes everywhere...



Me and the volcano



Black sand beaches are weird

Night Scenes



The best thing about Guatemala were the incredible lightening storms. This picture just doesn't do it justice.



Best dinner I ever had...





The lighting at dinner was so enchanting.

The Panama Canal - A Feat of Engineering

I have long since thought that the Panama Canal is one of the best gifts America has given to the world. But after the Suez Canal, I hadn't really realized what it entailed. I thought it was just another narrow river. Little did I know that it was like a staircase for boats that takes an entire day to cross.





Entering the canal



The scariest view to see outside your porthole...I nearly peed my pants.




Sights in the canal (they would be better if I could have gotten off the boat).

The Port of Panama






And you thought your mom made you wear ridiculous clothes...






Don't you hate it when you forget to wear any clothes at all?

Colombia



Our time in Colombia was limited, and I spent most of it on the internet, for which I have absolutely no regrets, so this is all I've got...



The colors were wonderfully vibrant!



I don't know what this guy is doing.

Jamaica, Jamaica



How many Japanese people can you fit in a van? The answer is 21.

Life on the Beach, Ya, Mon




The beaches were positively amazing. A storm started off in the distance, and the cloud formations were incredible. There was lightening too, but I didn't catch it.



And of course, the band played on.


The Beautiful People



This mother and daughter were just enjoying an afternoon on the beach. Such a lovely pair.



I love this dude's beard...

Things That Make You Go Hmmm....



White scalp just isn't sexy...
